No, Apple shouldn’t cave to Google’s pressure to adopt RCS – not yet, at least (bgr.com)

Since RCS is essentially just carrier messaging, the messages are only delivered to a single carrier phone number, which means there isn’t any encryption as a base standard. So why is Google pushing end-to-end encryption as a big selling point for putting RCS on iPhone? Well, it all comes down to Google’s proprietary version of RCS.

Wait, Google is not being entirely upfront about a technology they would control for “end-to-end encryption”, so they can shame someone else into getting in bed with them for the sole purpose of ultimate control?

I AM SHOCKED! Shocked, I tell you!
